Not sure about the v2b, but I flew a ventus c for many years and now own a 27b.

*Ventus has a much faster roll rate than the 27b.
*27b has a much higher, sprung main wheel.
* Ventus has stiffer wings, and therefor a much stiffer ride.
*Ventus requires much more attention to pitch attitude to maintain constant speed.
*I have broken canopy hinges twice on the Ventus due to side hinge.
*I almost melted a Colibri II due to front hinged 27b focusing sunlight on the panel.
